I wonder if it counts as a work for hire then? Otherwise copyright vests with the author and requires a written memorandum of transfer as I understand it.

That's how all cases are appealed to the Supreme Court. SCOTUS has sharply limited original jurisdiction, applying to only a handful of constitutionally-created categories, so all other appeals come via a petition for a writ of certio

It's a bit more complicated than that, they're suing to test the constitutionality of the law because it barred them from doing something they would've otherwise done: === https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30

I can also believe that the stuff in smoke that kills your lungs could destroy viruses. I think the 'why' is important, given how addictive nicotine is and the fact that you're trading poisons by smoking to avoid covid.

Oof, Piers is a hard one. I loved the Xanth books as a kid, but looking at some of his stuff again as an adult, he comes off as incredibly creepy, especially knowing about some of his non-Xanth works. It really casts that 1-800-HIPIERS ho

Yeah, I'm a big roguelike fan, too, but Qud just click work for me. I say that as someone who has ascended multiple times on Nethack, gotten deep endgame in ADOM, etc. I got really bored with Qud and never went back.

For tinnitus, try massaging the back of your head/neck. Tightness there can be the cause in some people. Reddit posted a similar trick a few years ago, but in my experience, massage seems to be just as good, so if you haven't tri

You may have to clarify a bit more about what's wrong with the precedent they seek. Stating that it's bad to force install apps on one's phone that track them doesn't seem very abuse-able to me offhand. Not sure what yo

Thank you for linking the actual lawsuit earlier, I found it informative. That said, I'm trying but I'm not seeing what 'precedents' they're weakening, other than that the government can't force install tracki

Actually the Apostles try having "all things in common" for a while in Acts 4 or so, find that their initial ideas don't work out that great (see, e.g. Ananias), but eventually set up institutions of communal living with some

The modal shadow ban is that people can't read your stuff at all, even if they go looking for it. This is closer to the HN model where you can see it if you really want to via showdead.

I haven't claimed that books are rape, just that shame isn't the harm of grooming. But some of these things are pedo-adjacent, so while I agree that they're not pedophilia or rape, they can be concerning in that right.

I'm not sure how you see shame as the real harm from this, because it goes significantly deeper than that. I do think we may be talking past each other on some things, though, and may not disagree on certain points. Generally speakin

Grooming generally consists of showing kids porn, drugging them and then raping them and making them feel guilt over their own abuse so that they do not disclose it. So it's understandable that people are concerned by people who want t

That gets into what we even mean by calling someone the "inventor" of someone. Plenty of people made flying contraptions of one sort or another, such as Clément Ader, Gustave Whitehead, Richard Pearse, and Karl Jatho But the Wrig

Why not just separate the emitters and receivers a bit more, then? Wouldn't it work to put some cheap drones or other hardware that "light up" and send nice pulses out for you to get info from that are far enough away from yo

It was far less political in the past, now I visit the front page and it's all politics all the time. Note that I don't log in and I'm just browsing the front page, so it has nothing to do with me selecting subs.

This reminds me of how Reddit changed basically overnight years ago to be all about politics.

You must hang out in a very different place, then. I see much more outcry when 3rd parties come between willing speakers and recipients, with most of the rest being people misrepresenting censorship as moderation because it allows them to

Yeah, the "there's no principled reason to ban spam" is just silly. The recipients don't want to see it whereas people cry censorship when messages they want to see are blocked. It's literally the difference betwee
